The U.S. Army Veterinary Corps was formed in 1916 in anticipation of the U.S.’s entry into WWI. Their primary mission was to tend to the horses used in battle. A century later the mission of the U.S. Army Vet Corps has diversified to include tending to local livestock in war-regions, providing veterinary care for pets of military personnel, and maintaining the good health of the best military working dogs on the planet.
Happy Birthday, U.S. Army Veterinary Corps! Here’s to another hundred years of unblemished service.
